Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - June 14, 1993 Page - 8 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) - Resolution Amending the Development Fees for Street Improvements Fee Schedule (amends the DFSI fee schedule to index the fees annually based upon the Construction Cost Index). Mr. Jermanis explained this fee began in 1988 and is based upon the relationship between development and traffic impacts. He said a committee recommended it be adjusted annually based upon the Construction Cost Index, which has increased 1 .24%. He said the ordinance requires a report to the City Council on the total funds collected and noted this was listed on page 73 of the agenda. He explained the fees received, the appropriation, the amount expended, and the committed but unexpended balance. He said appropriations exceed available resources but should be made up in the coming year. He said projects are based on the Master Plan of City Streets and were previously approved by the City Council . He said no new or additional projects are proposed for 93-94. Council Member Perry said, when the DFSI was established, there were certain assumptions about economic growth. She said those times have changed, and the DFSI needs to be reevaluated. She said this could perhaps be done as part of the Economic Development Program. Mr. Oliver concurred; he said preliminary data indicates that San Leandro has the highest fees of cities along the I-880 corridor. Council Member Corbett suggested that any evaluation include a survey and study of other types of fees as well , such as business licenses, development fees, etc. The Hearing was then opened to the public. A. Lou Filipovich, 15376 Laverne Drive, asked if the fee is based on parcels. Mr. Oliver said it is based upon the unit being built and applies to new construction only. He said it has nothing to do with existing units and is for streets being built for new units. - Resolution No. 93-115, Resolution Adopting City of San Leandro Budget for Fiscal Year 1993-94 and Appropriating All Revenue Therefor (adopts the City Manager's proposed 1993-94 budget, including Revenue, Appropriations and Reserve Transfers) . John Jermanis concluded by recommending that the City Council adopt the budget, including appropriations, revenue, and transfers to and from reserves. He noted $20,000 would be appropriated for Gang Prevention, and $2,500 would be restricted until more information was obtained related to the Philharmonic Orchestra. The Hearing was then opened to the public.
